(Aside from a match here or there, I haven’t seen any of the WrestleMania’s since XX, so that may not be true anymore)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF WrestleMania XII



- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF WrestleMania XII. When it came out, it was my favorite WrestleMania, since I was such a big HBK fan. Of course, time has passed since those mark days. Lets see if time has been kind to this one.  (This was originally written in early 2001, with five years of perspective)

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Survivor Series 1995



- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF Survivor Series 1995. This is the next in the “lucky seven” set (That was a reference to seven tapes I’d been hunting for ages, which I found at a random video store during a gas stop on a road trip. I both miss and don’t miss those days. That also places this in late 2001), and is a show I’ve never personally seen before, so I’m definitely game to review it.

HITMAN383 Rant for WWF In Your House (May 1995)



- The HITMAN383 Rant for WWF In Your House, May 1995. This was the first In Your House, as the WWF wanted to introduce more PPV’s to compete with WCW’s bigger PPV line up. So, to spur interest, they decided to give away a house. Did it work? Well, not really, since the show drew a 0.83 buyrate, and something like 7,000 people. Then again, this is 1995, so what are you expecting? (This one was originally written in 2001)
